Plymouth Church
Generosity Journey
An Initial Giver is someone who decides to give
for the first time, out of a response to faith. This
is someone who decides to give something and
trusts God and the leaders of the Church with this
gift. (2 Corinthians 8:7–15)
A Consistent Giver is someone who decides to
give something and to give it on a consistent basis
to exercise the discipline of giving on a regular
basis. Often, someone who decides to make their
gift an online recurring gift will be someone who is
learning the behavior of consistency.
(2 Corinthians 9:6–8)
An Intentional Giver is someone who is beginning
to think about their giving in relation to other things
on which they spend their money. This giver starts
to make their giving an intentional choice that
reflects how they prioritize it in relation to other
things they spend their money on. (Luke 14:28–35)

A Sacrificial Giver is someone who gives in a way
that changes them, in a way that reflects that their
giving is governing their spending/saving
rather than their spending/saving governing their
giving. (Colossians 1:15–18, 22-23)
A Lifetime Giver is someone who is thinking
about the longer tail of generosity rather than just
the shorter term of month-to-month generosity
or even year-to-year. A Lifetime Giver makes
decisions in the short term that have longer term
effects as it relates to their generosity capacity.
A Lifetime Giver might be someone who has a
lifetime giving goal, something that will govern
their larger-ticket decisions. Much like a Sacrificial
Giver makes a commitment that will govern
their monthly and annual decisions, a Lifetime
Giver makes a lifetime or longer-term giving
commitment that governs larger-item purchases
like homes, cars, and investments.
(1 Timothy 6:6–19)
